Grow Pro Webinar Series

Since May 2021, AFE has hosted free monthly webinars on production areas and topics that directly impact growers.

Our nationally recognized researchers, hosts, and speakers will offer ‘how-to’ advice based on AFE-funded and other research projects to help the industry navigate through these ever-changing growing challenges. The webinar topics are current and offer opportunities for growers to focus on increased profit, greater sustainability, and improved labor efficiency.

Webinars are presented on a Tuesday each month and are 30-40 minutes in length plus a 15-minute question and answer period with the researchers. For efficiency, the presentations are pre-recorded followed by a live Q&A.

Note: If you are searching for a webinar on a specific topic, we encourage you to use the ‘search’ feature in the top right corner of the webpage, or browse all webinars below by filtering by year.
